So everyone’s favorite reactionary racist woman-hating fantasy author Vox Day has weighed in on that street harassment video that’s been going around. And his comments will shock you.
At least if you’re easily shocked and have never read any of my previous posts about him.
It’s not exactly a surprise that Vox thinks that street harassment isn’t really harassment, just a bunch of “unsolicited compliments and greetings” from friendly fellows.
But Vox does have one criticism of the non-harassers. They’re not doing it right.
Specifically, they’re being too nice to the women they’re pestering.
The ironic thing is that these men have it all wrong anyhow. They’d be much more likely to get a response from her if they glanced at her and laughed, rolled their eyes, or sniffed dismissively. Street neg, one might say.
So ladies, if you’re walking down the street and some angry weirdo sniffs dismissively in your direction, don’t be surprised if you suddenly feel a strong urge to bear his children. Because sniffing dismissively is a total Alpha move.
Vox’s regular commenters had a few thoughts of their own.
“The more we ignore them, the more they want us. Amusing creatures,” Laguna Feach Fogey sniffed dismissively.
“The day the catcalls finally stop will be far more traumatic for her than the catcalls have been,” Retrenched laughed.
“The poor thing ! but in a couple of decades she will be sexually invisible and all her problems will be solved,” PjBlue added, rolling his eyes dramatically.
Several others suggested that the woman in the sexual harassment video brought it on herself by dressing like a harlot … in a t-shirt and jeans.
“In other words,” cailcorishev wrote,
clothes that show off every curve of her body to greatest effect, so that everyone who sees her can tell from a mile away just how large and perky her goodies are. If her great-grandmother could see her, she’d be scandalized that she’s going outside practically naked.
Today I Learned that wearing clothes that cover up most of your body is the same as going outside practically naked.
Jimmy jambo offered the woman some style tips.
You’re supposed to wear baggy clothes and a hoodie so no one can see your face. I suppose this is what regular women face, but the world has already changed. Men are not required to be polite to women as in chivalry so catcalls are no different than name calling.
Wait, what?
thebewilderness, the firm that put it out for them claimed that the white dudes were all out of shot or what they said was blurred by background noise or, or … very questionable excuses, I thought.
Misogynists like to pretend that “woman alone with cats” is a nightmare. It isn’t. It’s a dream.
As a well-endowed “women” (big boobs, big round ass) I do find that I tend to get a lot of unwanted sexual attention on the streets from pretty much only black men. I used to worry that noticing this made me racist, but I think it’s just an observation. (I would theoretically be just annoyed if it were white guys doing the same thing.) I *do*, however, think that the blurring out of the white doodz faces and not anybody else in the video is kind of racist. But I think it’s a good and instructive video anyway.
Are you a sultana?

Funny old thing, the “woman with a cat” is clearly a meme that has been accurate for centuries.
I have a bracelet made of “woman/girl with cat” paintings and both those are on it. 🙂
I wish the Feminist Hivemind would step up and brainwash my landlord into allowing cats. 🙁

One of these is not like the others …
In my dreams I am a wild dragon rider, chief of a culture of dragon riders.
Sultana would be good, though… 🙂 Why do you ask?

I love the Fat Cat paintings. Apparently the artist had trouble taking a big print through airport security once, because they thought it was an actual oil painting, and she had to remind them that, dude, Catherine the Great did not actually have her portrait painted with an oversized fat cat.
Hahahaha I have to wonder if she went through Russian security. They’re the worst, esp. with foreigners.
(I once almost missed my flight out of St. Petersburg because 20 min. before boarding, I was forced to rifle through an entire suitcase which had a “metal object” in it – a tin souvenier bank. There are some great stories of LGBTQ activists bringing loads of condoms into the country during the beginning of the AIDS epidemic.)
Is it bad that I misread the url as having “fart” in it?
RE: bringing loads of condoms into Russia back in the early 90s.
*Suitcase opened, condoms falling out everywhere.

“They’re for personal use!”

“Well, I’m here for three weeks!!”
@Nequam
I didn’t mind it being short, just I remember being a bit surprised when it finished all of a sudden – I guess it felt like they had planned more than they ended up doing. It’s been a while though so I don’t remember the details.
I have a few games I could be playing, but I’m on jigsaw puzzles atm. 🙂
Was that you? 🙂
The only funny condom story I have is not about me. A Navy work colleague was being deployed for 6 months on a land mission, and was given his kit, which included a medical bag. When he got home, he emptied out the bag on the bed. Apparently there were “a lot” of condoms which he was going to have to explain* to his wife (who wasn’t going).
* kits are standard. Condoms are given as literally prophylactics so everyone gets them, irrespective of partnership status.
jparsons42 – I think it was Russian security! She’s Russian herself, iirc.
pallygirl – fart is just as relevant as fat with kitties. 😀
Some kitty art that I’ve been futzing with. Not as good as the Cats in Art, but fun to do nonetheless. Models supplied by kittehserf.

I love Mr Hadji as a bear, especially. I always thought he looked like a little black bear in that pic. 🙂
Why would some random dude’s apparent bad mood and/or hay fever issues make me want to pursue him? I guess I might offer him a tissue, if the sniffing was really bad.
@ samantha
Where I’m from a sultana is a type of raisin, so there was a moment of confusion there. Though hey, if someone wants to identify as a type of dried fruit who am I to object?
That’s what makes me laugh, the idea that a bloke sniffing and rolling his eyes is going to be noticed at all, and if he is, that it’s going to register as a neg (assuming the majority of women have ever heard that absurd term, which I really doubt). It’s just going to look like he’s got something wrong with him. Granted, he has, but it’ll look like “wrong” as in “unwell/drugged/not medicated” rather than “is fucking stupid misogynistic douchecanoe”.
Given that NYC seems to be heading towards an “oh shit, everything is Ebola!” panic I don’t know that wandering around sniffling in as obvious a way as you can manage is a particularly good idea right now if you live there.
